Li Bo and the others immediately revealed envious expressions. This was a recruitment from a 1-star great teacher. From today onward, Tan Lu's future was considered stable.
"As expected, no matter how difficult the situation is, one mustn't give up!"
Li Bo exclaimed.
A few days ago, Tan Lu had lost to Fei Tong and even suffered a serious injury like a comminuted fracture in his ankle. Everyone felt that it was over for him and that he was going to become mediocre. However, he wasn't discouraged and climbed back up so quickly.
Tan Lu was astonished and looked at Zhang Qianlin in astonishment.
"Your performance was excellent. This is especially so for the determination you displayed in the face of adversity. I admire it very much."
Zhang Qianlin praised. As long as one had such qualities, they would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
"Teacher Zhang, you're praising me too much!"
Tan Lu smiled in self-mockery. (How can I have a strong will? After losing that day, I felt that the sky had collapsed. If it wasn't for Teacher Sun Mo consoling me and guiding me, I'd probably still be lying on the bed waiting to grow maggots.)
At the thought of this, he felt even more grateful toward Sun Mo.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tan Lu + 100. Respect (1,600/10000).
Zhang Qianlin didn't say anything else. He smiled and waited for Tan Lu to acknowledge him as his master. After all, he was a 1-star great teacher. If he took the initiative to recruit Tan Lu and said too much, it would damage his image.
Tan Lu pursed his lips, feeling a little hesitant. Because he didn't say anything, the atmosphere was a little silent and awkward.
"Tan Lu, what are you thinking about? Don't be silly. There aren't many opportunities like this! "
Li Bo secretly tugged at Tan Lu's sleeves and reminded him softly.
(If it's a recruitment from an experienced teacher, it's fine if you reject it. But Zhang Qianlin is a 1-star great teacher and his father is the Central Province Academy's vice-headmaster. If you were to acknowledge him as your master, your future would definitely be stable.)
Tan Lu naturally understood this logic as well. However, Sun Mo's figure kept lingering in his mind. The scene of Sun Mo sitting by the bonfire and guiding him that night was still vivid in his mind.
Tan Lu took in a deep breath and bowed toward Zhang Qianlin.
"It's done!"
Zhang Qianlin was very happy and reached out to help Tan Lu up. However, at this moment, Tan Lu's words caused him to freeze on the spot.
"Teacher Zhang, thank you for your appreciation and love for me, but I'm very sorry, I already have a teacher that I admire."
Tan Lu rejected.
Li Bo and the others were prepared to applaud and congratulate Tan Lu. However, when they heard this, it was as if the sightseeing bus they were sitting on had suddenly slammed on the brakes. Not only had they been flung off, but the tires had also almost crushed them to death.
"Did I hear that right?"
"Tan Lu is very ambitious!"
"Understandable!"
The students mumbled. If they were in Sun Mo's shoes and had such a good performance, they would also have the extravagant hope of becoming the personal disciple of a 3-star great teacher.
Zhang Qianlin's expression didn't look too good. A genius like him was actually rejected?
It was really preposterous. However, there were students watching at the side and he didn't feel good to show his attitude. He had wanted to leave, but when he recalled Tan Lu's exciting battle earlier, he really admired this student. Therefore, he tried to persuade him again.
"Tan Lu, you're thinking of acknowledging a 3 or 4-star great teacher, right? Pardon me for speaking bluntly, but under the tutelage of a famous master teacher, there is no lack of geniuses. Even if you manage to acknowledge him as your teacher, the resources and support you will receive will be limited. However, I am different. I will nurture you wholeheartedly. "
It was impossible for every great teacher to only have one personal disciple. Even if every disciple was a genius, there would definitely be a difference in strength.
The stronger ones would receive more resources. This was the distribution method for most great teachers.
It wasn't that great teachers were biased. Rather, under the support of equal resources, the more talented disciples would be able to achieve greater improvements and achievements. Therefore, they would naturally be given more resources.
Of course, the higher the great teacher's star rank, the more esteemed their status, and the stronger they were, the more resources they would be able to receive. Even the weakest disciple would receive resources that far surpassed that of ordinary teachers.
In the great teacher world, there were also great teachers who hated this distribution method. They felt that as long as they were students under their tutelage, they should all be treated equally and given the same amount of guidance and resources. However, the actual results weren't satisfactory.
In this world, there was a truth. It was that only through competition could one improve. Sharing meals from the same big pot would wear away one's initiative.
In history, a certain country had used facts to prove that sharing meals from the same big pot wouldn't work. It was because laziness was a bad trait that everyone had.
Great teachers felt that the most outstanding students would be able to obtain the most resources as rewards, forming a pyramid distribution model. Under such a fair competition, every student would do their best to work hard.
However, no matter how great teachers guided their students, their ultimate goal was still to let them succeed. On this point, all great teachers would do their best.
Tan Lu shook his head. Honestly speaking, given his aptitude, it was a little wishful thinking for him to want to come under the tutelage of a 3-star great teacher. However, he didn't really care about becoming a 1-star great teacher. It was because he felt that given Sun Mo's talent, it shouldn't be a problem for him to rise to 3-star at Zhang Qianlin's age.
Zhang Qianlin felt extremely displeased in his heart. However, he couldn't show it before his students. He said 'work hard' and left quickly.
"Damn it, I must rise to 3-star as soon as possible!"
Zhang Qianlin swore.
After seeing Zhang Qianlin leave, Li Bocai flashed a thumbs up. "You're amazing. You can even bear to reject the recruitment of a 1-star great teacher!"
"Who do you want to acknowledge as your teacher? Teacher Jin? "
A guy put his arm around Tan Lu's neck and persuaded, "Sometimes, don't just look at the star rank. It's best to find someone who's suitable for you."
"I understand!"
Tan Lu had a lot on his mind.
When Li Bocai and the others returned to the campsite, they couldn't wait to tell everyone about how Tan Lu had defeated Fei Tong. Firstly, it was because they had suppressed their mortal enemy, the Myriad Daos Academy, and felt that they had vented their anger. Secondly, it was to build up momentum for Tan Lu, allowing the process of him acknowledging a teacher to be smoother.
Recently, everyone had been living together as teammates and had a very harmonious relationship. Naturally, they also hoped that Tan Lu would be able to achieve his wish.
Of course, everyone was tactful and didn't say anything about Tan Lu's rejection of Zhang Qianlin.
The campsite wasn't big. After Li Bocai and the others made a ruckus, everyone knew about it. Not only the students, but even the teachers were a little surprised when they looked at Tan Lu.
Tan Lu enjoyed such attention very much. This was all thanks to Teacher Sun's guidance.
"It's about time. Go on!"
Li Bocai encouraged.
Tan Lu hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Alright!"
Tan Lu got up, took a few deep breaths, and then walked toward Sun Mo's team's campfire.
"Hmmm?"
Li Bocai was stunned. He subconsciously turned his head and threw a glance at Jin Mujie's tent. He then looked at Tan Lu. (Where are you going? Did you go the wrong way?)
The other students in the same team also had stunned looks on their faces. (You want Teacher Jin as your teacher? Could it be that you want Teacher Sun to be your mediator?)
"Teacher!"
Tan Lu came before Sun Mo. After standing still, he placed his hands vertically by the side of his legs and greeted respectfully.
"I heard that you won against Fei Tong?"
When Li Ziqi heard about this, she immediately told Sun Mo about it.
"En!"
Tan Lu pretended to be very calm on the surface, but he was extremely happy in his heart. (Very good, Teacher also knows how outstanding I am.)
"Not bad."
Sun Mo praised.
"It's all thanks to Teacher's guidance!"
Tan Lu wasn't bootlicking but sincere admiration. If it wasn't for Sun Mo, he probably wouldn't have the courage to give up on his family-inherited spear art. No, he wouldn't even dare to have this thought.
"Tsk!"
Tantai Yutang's lips twitched. It seemed that he would have another junior martial brother today.
"Have you eaten? Do you want to eat together? "
Sun Mo called out, "Baiwu's porridge is quite delicious!"
Tan Lu hesitated for a moment, feeling that if he were to continue wasting time, Sun Mo might look down on him for not being decisive. Therefore, he dropped to his knees with a thud.
"Teacher, please take me in as your disciple!"
After saying that, Tan Lu dropped to his knees.
Half of the Central Province Academy's campsite fell silent.
"I heard that Tan Lu went to the Myriad Daos Academy's campsite earlier and won against that Fei Tong!"
"It should be fake, right? In the battle that day, Tan Lu was crushed. It has only been a few days. Even if his strength had increased explosively, to what extent could it have increased? "
"Do you guys think that Teacher Sun will take him in as his disciple?"
The students discussed, their gazes filled with curiosity.
"This... this..."
Li Bo was stunned. What was going on?
"Is there a mistake?"
"Isn't he going to acknowledge Teacher Jin as his master?"
"How can it be Sun Mo? Is there a reason? Wait a minute, could it be that he was able to defeat Fei Tong because of Teacher Sun's guidance? "
Tan Lu's companions in the same team were also stunned. This was a little unexpected.
Du Xiao was envious, but she also felt happy for Sun Mo from the bottom of her heart. He could have another disciple now.
"I have to work harder too!"
Gao Ben cheered himself on. If this were to continue, he would fall further and further behind Sun Mo.
Zhang Qianlin was waiting at the borders of the campsite. When he saw this scene, he was dumbfounded. After that, he smashed the roasted meat in his hands onto the ground.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Qianlin was so angry that his countenance turned grim. If Tan Lu acknowledged Jin Mujie as his master, he would be convinced. But to acknowledge this Sun Mo?
On what basis?
Zhang Qianlin couldn't understand.
"Teacher, without your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Fei Tong. Teacher, I sincerely wish to become your disciple and listen to your teachings."
Tan Lu's voice was filled with respect. His forehead was stuck to the ground, maintaining a kowtowing posture.
"Teacher is so amazing!"
Lu Zhiruo grinned, feeling honored.
"This is bad!"
Li Ziqi sneaked a glance at Sun Mo. When she saw him hesitating, she knew that this matter might fall through.
"Tan Lu, get up first!"
Sun Mo spoke up. He couldn't possibly let his student keep kneeling.
"Teacher!"
Tan Lu's voice started to tremble because he also had a bad premonition.
"You're very outstanding. Otherwise, it's impossible for you to improve so much within a few days and defeat that student from the Myriad Daos Academy."
Sun Mo spoke earnestly, "Your current emotions must be agitated and excited. This will affect your judgment. After you calm down, you can seriously consider the matter of acknowledging a master."
"Teacher, I've considered it. I want to become your disciple."
Tan Lu persisted.
